What is SIZ file?
The file with the extension SIZ is the Settings Files file type. The creator of this file is Oracle Corporation. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Oracle 7 Configuration is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Oracle Database application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Oracle Corporation.
How to open SIZ file?
The most common problem when using Oracle 7 Configuration is that a specific SIZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SIZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SIZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Oracle Database
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Oracle Database is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Oracle Database in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SIZ files.
Programs to open SIZ file
Remember to download programs supporting SIZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Oracle Database with SIZ files
If, despite the installed application, the SIZ file does not start in the Oracle Database application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SIZ file with the Oracle Database application.
Step 3. Update Oracle Database to the latest version
If, however, after binding Oracle Database with Oracle 7 Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SIZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SIZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SIZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SIZ file. Sometimes virus-infected SIZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SIZ file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SIZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SIZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SIZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SIZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SIZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
